Since 2017, I have been focusing on the intersection of art, historical heritage e militant politics through
contemporary art exhibitions, public programs, and art therapy workshops.
I am the Artistic Director and Head Curator of the Malta Biennale 2024, Insulaphilia, curated together with Emma
Mattei and Elisa Carollo and promoted by Heritage Malta with the patronage of UNESCO.
I was part of the curatorial
Team of the first Italian National Pavilion – Che cosa sogna l’acqua quando dorme? – for the 14th Gwangju Biennale
in South Korea, curated by Valentina Buzzi and promoted by the Italian Cultural Institute in Seoul, with support
from the Embassy of Italy in Korea, Quadriennale di Roma, and the European Media Art Platform, co-founded
by the European Union.
Since 2023 I am a curator for Una Boccata d’Arte, Emilia-Romagna, a contemporary art
project spread throughout Italy, promoted by Fondazione Elpis in collaboration with Galleria Continua, with the
